Interior is very comfortable and is great for long distances.

However, too many problems for so few miles. My grandmother owned this car before me (she was 90) and didn't abuse it in anyway (other than maybe not driving very much and driving to slow) and still all these things needed replaced.

Our family has *always* been a GM car family, but this car has me thinking that GM sure isn't what it use to be... very very disappointed.

Ditto here... Have a 2001 Chevy Impala. At 57,000 miles I needed a new transmission. 60,000 intake manifold gasket replaced... and now at 67,000 miles am told that I need a new engine. This being a 3.8L engine... oh yeah, the power steering fluid leaks in cold weather and the headlight has a leak or something so it's all fogged up. This car makes me mad!!!

I owned my Impala for a little over a year and in that time the total repairs on the car was about $7500.

Although I had plenty of problems with the car I did enjoy driving it. It got good gas mileage and it was powerful. I got tired of having to bring it in every couple of weeks for problems so I sold it.

Clicking noise from steering wheel could not be diagnosed by the dealership (though they agreed it was there). After 7 trips to the dealership they put sound insulation pads/foam in the entire dash to remove the noise.

Ignition switch only likes to start the car when it feels like it. Since the car is now out of warranty I currently cannot afford to replace it.

I love my car, I really do. It's black, it's sexy, and it's just nice to look at in general.

The interior is comfortable, though not very attractive in certain aspects, has all the features and amenities that I want and expect in a car.

I've had non-stop problems with it. The vehicle has been to the dealership for repair more times than all of our previous vehicles combined for the last 30 years.

As much of a lemon as our car is (faulty transmission, electronics, etc), it's been a nice car to own. Our dealership has treated us very well, and provided us a rental car gratis every single time.

Would I buy another Chevrolet again though? Not a chance. I cannot afford the maintenance and upkeep this vehicle requires on a constant basis from mechanical and electrical failures.
